Crossing North Dakota.

The girls are oblivious to the scenery. Naps are their priority.Teddy Roosevelt statue in Roosevelt Park, Minot, ND.Camped at Grahams Island State Park near Devil’s Lake, ND. A beautiful, quiet spot several hundred feet from shore under hardwood trees. Pitched the tent minus the rain fly due to clear skies. Found Cassiopeia visible during the night overhead through the top of the tent, a sight well worth the effort of camping.Rugby, ND. Literally the geographical center of North America.Lunch stop at Roosevelt Park Zoo (as in Teddy.)

The grand themes of Dvorak’s New World Symphony provided the soundtrack for this big, grand landscape. Blue sky and only wispy clouds. A gorgeous drive.
